ORIGINAL: Driver1961 Well, we all have our ideas on whether to utilise Lifestyle protocols in response to others online or notonline and I do really appreciate the diversity of opinions here. Esssentially though,,,, don't we all expect to be treated the way we like to treat others? Is it always necessary to 'lash out' (grins) at those who appear to not possess, or do not possess elements of proper cordialities? Like really, I can't be bothered wasting my precious energies on 'ignorant people' by responding to them in a manner they may clearly understand. If I vocally abuse another for their ignorance, I only abuse my own virtues and disrespect myself. I helpfully and sincerely direct ignorant people on where to obtain further learning and then ignore them unless they indicate otherwise through apology etc. My life is one of realizing 'tolerance for all' (yes I do have clear boundaries on this tho!) I ask another to EDUCATE ME If I can't understand their point of view. It is then up to me to accept, reject or modify my thoughts as a result. Consequently my sub's earlier entry (redheadedfire4u) typifies my thoughts and my expectations of her, her sister and those that I call friends. I expect my girls to behave with the decorum of civility and personal self-respect throughout their dealings in life, not just in the Lifestyle. Their behaviour (as mine) is a reflection on themselves. I don't understand why some have to justify their response to online Ds' inappropriateness with rudeness and disrespect. The anonminity granted online should not affect our response to these wannabe idiots. The graciousness and personal self-respect with O/our response does not conflict with O/our integrity and values by resorting to the 'gutter' so they may better understand. Greetings Driver, You Sir are talking a great deal of sence in that post. I particularly like your comment "EDUCATE ME". I am known for wanting to know what some one is really trying to say at times and have been kn own to, metaphorically, pin them to the wall whilst I ask numerous questions untill I do understand what they are trying to impart to me and how it, in their opinion, affects me. However there are also time when I'll either cut them a new arsehole or ignore them (depending on how I am feeling towards them), yet I would do exactly the same were we face to face.
